Violet Scarlett- EDITED

Chapter 4 Part 2

Trent

We were all still shocked processing the news. But we can't just stand here. I thought snapping out of it.

"I want fifteen warriors, two trackers and two doctors to get ready" I ordered. "Are we seriously going to go there?" a warrior asked as we all met outside followed by many other protests.

"Enough." I growled on edge. "Yes, we need to find out whom or what did this and see if they are nearby. We need to know if our pack is in danger" Luke answered before turning towards me. "Everything is ready alpha"

"Good, let's go" I started towards the forest.

"Wait!" I heard a desperate high pitched voice. I turned around to see Paige coming towards me before she jumped into my arms and kissed me, she was going to go deeper but I pulled her back. She pouted but otherwise didn't comment.

"Be safe" she gave me one last peck, before going back into the pack house. I turned towards the group, "Alright lead the way" I told the two trackers.

They started walking and sniffing out the previous scents. Soon we were out of our pack's border.

We followed the trackers and came into a clearing. But they weren't here, no bodies nothing just lingering scents. I smelled the air and saw the trail didn't end here.

"It smells like they were running" one of the trackers spoke still smelling "but then they all went towards one place near here" he said confused. "I don't know maybe the water is messing with the scent." Maybe, maybe not.

Why would they go somewhere near here all together if they were running? I smelled the air following the trackers and saw he was right. There was also two scent lingering, one a sweet aroma and another stench of a rogue.

Somewhere along the way I could smell blood. I looked towards my warrior 'spread out use stealth' I mind linked them. They nodded and spread out to surround the area.

We came closer to a clearing and the stench of blood became stronger. I was about to jump in when one of my man yelped knocking me off my feet into the clearing.

"What the hell?!" I turned to face the culprit, but he was staring in horror at something near him. I looked and saw it was a bodiless hand. What the-

"Alpha you've got to see this" I turned my attention away from the hand. Getting up turning and facing the clearing, I paled at what I saw.

Blood and body parts were there everywhere. There were also two of the girls that I sent out, one without a head. I looked around and saw her head by one of the men. There were pretty much two girls and three dead men in the clearing, the rest of them were in bits and pieces.

"Alpha" Luke called me over staring at something. A tree?

I got closer and saw a heart in front of that tree, it was very much damaged. I paled. "Is that......" I trailed off looking towards Luke. "It may be" he sighed.

Chris's heart.

I still don't know how he got back alive, especially when I see his heart right here and pretty much destroyed.

Staring at Chris's heart another thing caught my attention on the tree where Luke was staring at. I looked closer and found it was a V and S interloping carved into the tree.

"That's another thing I found" he pointed at the carving no doubt made by the one who killed them.

"Alright clear out this clearing, pack up the bodies-" My command was interrupted by a feral growl. I turned alert and saw one rogue. Luke quickly sprang into action breaking its neck, it fell on the ground dead.

"He can't be the one who killed them" I stared at the rogue lying dead in human form.

Soon I heard another growl and saw one of my pack warriors fighting off two more rogues. The others quickly helped him to kill the rogues. They can't be the ones, who killed my pack members either.

"I see what's going on now" Luke said in realization.

"What is it?" I turned to him.

"Their screams and now the smell of their blood are attracting the rogues" he stated.

"Shit, hurry up and pack the bodies before more come" I commanded. If we stay here any longer we might get killed, who knows how many more rogues are on their way here?

"Someone take pictures" I commanded.

Soon we were on our way back- Body bags and all- All I hope is that we didn't miss any of the body parts for any rogues to maul on but it's possible. What kind of monster would do this?

I'm wondering if they ever found Violet or died before finding her. Is she dead? Did whoever or whatever did this get to her? Is she hurt or dead? No, I would have felt it through the bond.

Damn it! My wolf is rubbing off on me about her.

I looked at the picture of the mark on the tree.

I will make sure of whoever did this will pay.
